Yamaha needs to bring in the Euro/Candadian model with the FZ1 like bikini fairing.

If my FZ1 is any indication, quite a bit of power resides in throwing away the entire stock exhaust system and opening up the airbox

I would like to see Yam update the FZ1 with a lighter crank, 4 valve head and actually go down a bit in size on the too big 45mm throttle bodies. The FZ1 exhaust can, aside from strangling the bike, is ugly as sin. This one looks better.

Finally, dealers around here are selling leftover FZ1s for less than the MSRP on this thing. Hmmm....
